“Oh, NO. Woe is me!! Oil is evil! Oil and fossil fuels are bad for the planet! I’m gonna get in my automobile and drive home to my electrically powered house and sit down at my computer or with my smart phone and use the Internet to bitch and whine while sitting in the air conditioning/heat and then use my gas stove to cook a relaxing meal because my nerves are so jangled!!!!1!!11!!!”
-Everyone against oil, fossil fuels, and pipelines
Accidents happen, people. It’s a minor spill if you know the industry and calculate the math. Just because we have car accidents, are we gonna stop using cars?
Yeah, it’s a shitty situation and will cost time and money to correct, but that’s life. Our society is oil based. Not wind, not solar, not hydro, and not positive energies caused by holding hands while dancing in circles and singing and beating a tambourine. If you’re not going to dedicate your time and knowledge to researching a new source of power for life and society as we know it, please calm your tits and go back to your regularly scheduled programming.
